The new XCM Eye Candy replacement shell kit lets you coat your NDSi in luscious candy colors. And better yet, you can see through to the guts of your handheld and see all of its inner workings.

In addition to the bold candy apple red, emerald green, electric blue, there’s a clear shell and matte black and white if you really want to stick with the DSi stock colors.

Each kit comes complete with color-coordinated shell and matching buttons to complete the look. XCM even includes the proper screwdriver in the kit so you don’t need any extra tools to replace the shell. Of course, you’ll want to read over the detailed disassembly and assembly instructions before your break your precious handheld.

You can find all 6 colors of the XCM Eye Candy for the DSi over at Divineo for $25.99 (USD) each.

I’m particularly enamored of the fiery Red Ronin case as well as the luscious emerald Green Tanto.

In addition to the intense primary colors, the Evolve case series comes in chrome, black and clear variants among others.

The cases offer complete coverage of your entire Wii console, including replacement feet and screw covers. Talismoon even includes the tools you need to swap out the shell.

You can find the complete series from ConsoleShop for $39.99 each.

The Wii Dazzle Colorful from GT Coupe is a translucent plastic shell that snaps over the exterior of your Wii, adding a layer of color over the standard white case.

In addition to the colored plastic shell, the kit includes a vertical stand with a built-in fan and blue LED illumination.

The shells are made in several different colors, but importer DealExtreme currently is only carrying the pink variety (for about 30 bucks). If you’re looking for one of the other colors (or a better price), you might have some luck digging around on eBay.

The Shock! Magnum Chrome replacement shell gives your DS Lite gaming system a shiny metallic finish. By using copper-nickel-chrome electroplating, the exterior of the case really looks like metal, and is supposed to resist scratches too (although fingerprints are a different story.)

The chrome outer shell is available from ConsoleShop for $39.95 and can be replaced in about 10 or 15 minutes if you have the right tools and follow the directions properly. If you really want to complete the effect, the makers of the case offer a variety of color interior replacements (like the matte black one pictured above) which cost another $29.95 and add quite a bit of complexity to the delicate operation.
